INVASION FORCE

They came out of the blue. They are known only as the Invaders. Their mission: To claim Earth as their own. Of course, the fact that man was here first didn't stop them. Destroying the major Cities around the globe, then mercilessly mopping up the pockets of resistance.

 

You don't know how many of your comrades are fighting back, or even how many survived as communications were the first thing to go. As far as you are concerned, you are the last.

 

Only you, three ion cannons and lady luck stand between absolute victory, or total defeat.

HAUNTED HOUSE

You control Albert, who is trapped inside a haunted house. In every room there are various articles you must avoid, such as the red cans, the aliens or the ghosts.

 

To exit a room, collect all the keys and shoot all the aliens. For extra points, collect the swords and the diamonds. You get an extra life if you complete room four.

PARACHUTE

Try to save as many of the parachutists which are jumping from the helicopter as possible.

 

You have five lives with which to do this, and you lose a life every time a parachutist drowns. Once you have a parachutist in your boat, you must return him to the shore.
